CNADM Student Sessions

New this year!  Include your younger students in the workshop experience. We’ve added a new session — the Orange Group — for
7-9 year-old students. They will have two half-day sessions devoted to
their age group on Sat-Sun, July 31 and August 1st. To accommodate
this new group, we are shifting the Purple Group schedule (10-11
year-olds). The Purple Group will have three half-day sessions on
Sat-Mon, July 31-Aug 2.

Student Session classrooms will be limited in the number of participants per classroom. All students attending the Student Sessions are invited to participate in the Student Competition.

Scholarships are awarded to selected students of CNADM members based on applications received.  In addition, Merit Scholarships are awarded to one student in each class to cover registration fees at the Fall Workshop in the same year as the awarded scholarship.

Jazz it Up!

The last day-and-half of Yellow Group Session will feature a mini-intensive focusing on Jazz, Contemporary, Modern and Lyrical classes, ala SYTYCD.  Please check the daily schedule, when available, to reference the class subjects; But take note — no Tap or Ballet is being scheduled during this time frame.
